800 on Patron to $50 on Clingstone, with
very little buying. Clingstone appeared on
the track with Willard Sanders holding the
ribbons. As soon as the sleek-looking animal
was sighted by the crowd there was loud
burst of applause Hardly had the cheers
died away when they were renewed with
vigor as Patron, with sides glistening like
silk, logged down the track in front of the
grand stand
The horses scored once unsuccessfully.

They Deny Certain Statements of Home
Rulers and Diplore the Situation.
DUBLIN, Sept. 16-At a conference held
here Thursday by landlords resolution was
unanimously adopted, the preamble of which
denies that excessive rents are charged to
tenants or that reasonable attachments were
refused in time of distress. They claim that
rents were not increased in Ireland from 1910
to 1880, whereas in England, Scotland and
Wales rents were increased from "a to 40 per
cent during that time. They also claim that
they have rendered important services to
Irish agriculture and deny that they have
neglected their duties toward the people. II
landlords were guided by the most selfish
motives they would he fools to evict tenants
whose worry bankruptcy would be claim on
their forbcarance, and prevent a disagreea-
bic task I'VE deplore, reads the resolution,
"the alienation of landlords from their ten
ants, and desire to restore the anIty that
ought to exist between them. The recent
eviciions were forced upon us for political
motives, and personally we abhor them.
The resolution then demands that the govern
nlent speedily and finally settle the land
question, and that they legislate just terms
to all parties, including compensation to
landlords for the loss OF exclusive ownership,
which the land act has seriously interfered
WITH and finally the resolution calls for re-
duction OF the public charges on land.
